When we realize what we were before Christ and what we deserved in that state, it further magnifies the enormity of the gospel for us.

Then they ask, "Do you want Jesus to come into your heart?" Does it bother anyone that this formula or language is not found in the New Testament?

Men, your primary responsibility in your home, after your wife, is you to disciple your own children. And if you don't do it, you're in sin; you are in sin. And if you turn it over to a Sunday school teacher, you are in sin. And you are to be teaching these children more than just stories about animals that went into Noah's ark. You're to be teaching them about God, about radical depravity, about blood atonement, about propitiation, expiation, justification, sanctification; you are to teach your children!

You are a steward of every moment, of every talent, of every gift, of every resource that God has given you. Chose wisely what you do today!

I now understand more of our calling. The weakest instruments are chosen to do the greatest works so that the glory might go to God.

Jesus ... HIS sheep, they know His voice and they follow Him whether you disciple them or not!

We live in a culture bound by sin like bands of iron. Moral stories, quaint maxims, and life lessons shared from the heart of a beloved pulpiteer or spiritual life coach have no real power against such darkness. We need preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ who know the Scriptures, and by God's grace face any culture with the cry, 'Thus saith the Lord!'
